Re: 1881 Census - humour!
In Response To: 1881 Census - humour! ()

My question would be "Where did you get your information?"

This is typical of the transcription errors that occur (quite understandably) in census material put out by the LDS.

Have you checked against the original material ?

And please, don't get me wrong, I think the work done by the LDS on the 1881 census is fantastic, but like the IGI, it is only a starting point.
